Who it suits
The trip is rated easy and suits couples, families, solo travellers and groups. It is a good choice for a romantic evening, for a first look at Railay without committing to a full day, or for travellers on a smaller budget. Because it starts at 4:00 pm, it fits easily after a beach day or a morning activity.
Our advice
Save it for a romantic evening or a first look at Railay: less of a commitment than a full day, with the sunset and the plankton as a bonus. Pair it with a relaxed morning in Ao Nang for a balanced day.

- Phone and camera: a dry bag keeps your phone safe on the longtail.
- Sun: even late in the day, bring a hat and reef-safe sunscreen, which is required in Thai marine parks.
- Booking: book online or on WhatsApp. You receive an e-mail confirmation as soon as you pay, and a WhatsApp reply within 1 hour. The tour runs with a licensed partner operator and is booked through Phi Phi Paradise Travel (TAT licence 31/01520).
Before you go
Good to know
Prone to seasickness?
Take a tablet ~30 min before departure, sit mid-boat, keep your eyes on the horizon and avoid heading out on an empty stomach.
Beat the crowds
Iconic spots like Maya Bay are far calmer early in the day. Our morning departures get you there before the midday ferry rush.
National park fees
Some sites sit inside a national park, so an entrance fee may apply. Check the “Not included” list above so there are no surprises.
Sun & reef care
The tropical sun is strong, bring a hat, sunglasses and plenty of water. Reef-safe sunscreen is required in Thai marine parks.
What to pack
Swimwear under your clothes, a towel, a dry bag for your phone, and a change of clothes for the trip back.
